Just wanted to mention something about the whole "socks" thing. JKR
apparently spends a great deal of time in some Spanish-speaking
country (sorry, I've forgotten which one!).  In Spanish, spelling the
English word s-o-c-k-s results in the phrase "Eso si que es!" which,
translated, means "That's it!"

Just another silly reason those socks may be important.

Entropy, who just read this somewhere and is passing it on, but takes
no real responsibility for this silly theory!
